software
one of the most effective ways to reduce weight, and thus energy consumption, and to minimize noise emissions and vibrations. Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM) processes such as Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) or Vacuum Assisted RTM (VARTM) are well adapted to the production of composite blades. They generate high-quality components without autoclave, meeting typical rotor blade design parameters such as jointless and seamless sandwich spars that cannot be achieved using other technologies. To design the production mould and to optimize resin distribution channels, material consumption and other process parameters, VZLU needed a reliable simulation tool that could communicate intuitively with the design and production tools. "PAM-RTM helps improve the probability of a problem-free infusion process for the first produced part. It is very effective for rectifying infusion imperfections discovered during the production process.” Vilém Pompe, Head of R&D, Composites Department, VZLÚ VZLÚ chose PAM-RTM for current and future research and development projects related to composite aircraft propellers and similar rotors. Some of the projects help their customers replace autoclave composite technologies with infusion processes that are cost effective and more flexible, enabling the use of a variety of materials and new design opportunities. and matrix tempering, viscosity influences, gel time considerations, and so on, before any physical trials. Thanks to their skills and experience and their use of PAM-RTM simulation software, VZLÚ engineers can now design new moulds faster and at lower cost. With this added experience and better process understanding, they can also easily adapt typical tool designs for products such as rotor blades. In other words, they do not have to start from scratch with each new project, but they can also reduce production cost and time for prototypes and test specimens. VZLÚ, as a research establishment, is committed to keep better understanding process parameters and providing solutions capable of saving their customers time and resources. Avoiding the production of defective moulds is a very effective way to meet such goals. n

Saving costs with moulding simulation
Typical RTM moulds are very expensive and if the inlets, outlets and internal resin distribution do not meet optimum configuration requirements, the mould will quite often not be used at all. PAM-RTM enables VZLÚ engineers to optimize the mould design before its production and to adjust process parameters, such as mould
